Abstract: A laser welding device is configured to switch an irradiation position of a measurement beam between a position of a keyhole coaxial with the optical axis of a laser beam and a position of a weld bead behind the center of an optical axis of the laser beam in a welding direction. The laser welding device determines whether there is a gap between an upper metal plate and a lower metal plate based on a measured value of a recess depth measured at the position of the weld bead.

Abstract: A transmission fiber includes a first core and a second core. The second core is provided on the outer periphery of the first core. In a first step of a laser termination process, a first laser beam is emitted from the second core, and a second laser beam is emitted from the first core. In a second step, the output power of the second laser beam is gradually reduced while a position at which the first laser beam and the second laser beam are emitted to a workpiece is moved in a laser processing direction. In a third step, the output of the second laser beam is stopped while the first laser beam is emitted from the second core.

Abstract: A welding system includes a welding apparatus and an appearance inspection apparatus. The appearance inspection apparatus includes: a shape measurement unit that measures the shape of a weld; an image processor that generates image data based on data of the shape; a determination unit that determines whether the shape of the weld is good or bad based on the image data and a determination model; and a feedback unit that extracts shape defect information if the result of the determination by the determination unit is negative. An output controller of the welding apparatus corrects a welding condition for a workpiece based on the shape defect information extracted by the feedback unit.

Abstract: Laser welding is performed while moving irradiation positions of a laser beam and a measurement beam in forward, rightward, rearward and leftward directions, and the penetration depth of a weld portion is measured during laser welding in each of the directions. Then, a direction in which a value smaller than a reference value is measured is determined to be an optical axis deviation direction, and a correction value is added to the values measured during the laser welding when the laser welding is performed in the optical axis deviation direction.

Abstract: A plurality of values measured are relatively compared to determine an optical axis deviation direction in which an optical axis of a measurement beam deviates from a laser beam. Then, a first parallel plate and a second parallel plate are rotated to move an irradiation position of the measurement beam so that an optical axis of the measurement beam is substantially coaxial with an optical axis of the laser beam.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a laser-welding apparatus and a laser-welding method. The laser-welding apparatus of the present invention includes: a laser output section that emits a laser beam toward a weld part of a welding target member; an optical interferometer that measures a weld penetration depth of the weld part based on interference which occurs due to an optical path difference between a measurement beam and a reference beam, the measurement beam having a frequency length different from that of the laser beam and having been emitted to the weld part while being coaxially overlapped with the laser beam, and reflected by the weld part; and a protection optical member disposed on an optical path between the welding target member and the laser output section while being inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the measurement beam.

Abstract: Point group data obtained by measuring the penetration depth of a keyhole 66 during laser welding is divided into a plurality of regions in the depth direction of measured values, and evaluation data showing a change in number of points with time is acquired for each of the plurality of regions. An average variation in number of points is calculated for each of the plurality of regions based on the plurality of pieces of evaluation data. When the average variation is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold, it is determined that measurement of the penetration depth of the keyhole 66 is unstable under the welding condition.

Abstract: A plurality of values measured are relatively compared to determine an optical axis deviation direction in which an optical axis of a measurement beam S deviates from a laser beam L. In performing laser welding in the optical axis deviation direction, an irradiation position of the measurement beam S is changed so that the irradiation position of the measurement beam S is moved to a rear side of the center of the optical axis of the laser beam L in the welding direction.
